LETTERS TO "SANTA CLAUS"
The Postmaster General Has Issued an
Order that They May Be Delivered -
ered to Charitable Societies.
Every year thousands of letters
ha ve been sent to the dead letter
office at Washington from the
postoffices throughout thl. ' country
addressed to "Santa Claus , " writ.
tcn by little ones whose fondest
hope had not been shattered by
a realizatioh of facts. Many
cummunications have been re.
ecived by the postoffice department -
ment requesting delivery of so-
called "S nta Claus letters" to
philanthropic societies , but the
requests have al ways been denied ,
the department taking the stand
that it wo tld be exposing 'con-
fidential correspondent to private
parties , that the letters migh 1
contain valuable inclosures and
that such a practice would not
be in keeping with the principal
of the sauctity of the maitst
Now , however , Postmaster
General M .yer has adopted a
more liberal attitude toward the.
children , as indicated in his action -
tion last Saturday , in sming : an
order to postt1l sters all over the
country-to whom letters full
of trust and pleading are coming
in such numbers from the little
ones-to let the people know
through the newspapers that
mail addre sed to S.l11ta Claus
will be delivered to responsible
parties who will undertake to act
as Santa Claus' agents in the
matter , and the Rm'unr.IcAN
hopes that every confiding writer
to that good and gray old fellow
will have their requests answered.
'l'he action of the postmasteJ
( { encral is a hig-hly commendable
oue. The order to the post ,
masters reads as follows :
"Ordered that hereafter an {
until the close of the first day 01
J auuary , 1 CJOS , postmasters an
directed to deliver all .letters ar
ri'ving at their respective post
offices addressed plainly and un
mistakably to Santa Ciau :
identifying the p'rsun to wholl
such letters are intendiug , to an :
regularly organized charitabl !
society in the cH.V or t ! > wn 0
address , to be u3ed e cUuvely ! fo
charitable purposcs. In even
that claim should be made h
more than on such society fo
letters so addressed. such letter
will be equally divided , accord
ing to number , between or amonl
the societies making such claim.
